You must not take the subway often.
Indeed.

Some people prefer to stand on escalators, while some prefer to walk. They are both legitimate approaches, and should be allowed to coexist with tolerance without disturbing each other.

I don’t think standing is legitimate use of escalators unless it doesn’t get in the way of anyone. An escalator is there to assist commuters in getting up the stairs, not a place to take a vacation.

Same applies for moving sidewalks or whatever they call those things in the airport. No reason we need to say “excuse me” 20x to get past people blocking the pathway with their luggage.

If there were elevators you would be right. But there are people and circumstances where climbing steps is difficult.

Those are the exceptions and can stay put, yet they should allow people to pass them instead of being selfish and spacing out.

You gave the answer yourself. They are there to assist commuters in getting up the stair. If everyone needs to climb the stairs anyhow then isn't that a bit pointless?

No. Because they reduce the number of stairs one needs to climb.

Don't agree with the title, but this is some investigative journalism!

I'm not sure that's the tone of the article. It's certainly what the parents want you to think though.

Interesting , came here to post the same story.

It's a copy of this https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leticiamiranda/amazon-orthodox-jews and it doesn't say anything that's not already known.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Well, it does add that Chassidim game the system by hiring SEO experts and copywriters, and that they are super creepy weirdos who can't look at customers eye to eye so they need to sell online.

I'm actually wrote something about this. Publishing next week.
